Congratulations on your admission to your graduate program at Mount St. Mary’s University. We are excited to have you as a student and encourage you to use the resources and tools below to help start your academic journey!
Your Mount email address, username, and password are emailed to you 24-48 hours after completing the Admission's Enrollment Decision Form. The same username and password will log you in to all of the Mount's online tools. All communication from professors and the university will be through your Mount email account, so it is essential to closely monitor your Mount email. If you have difficulty with this process, contact the ITSC Help Desk at itsc@msmary.edu.
Log in directly to MyMount via mymount.msmary.edu. Your MyMount username will be the first part of your Mount email. For example, if your email address was “emmit.s.burg@email.msmary.edu” then your MyMount username would be “emmit.s.burg” and your MyMount password is the same as your Mount email password. You can find more detailed instructions including screenshots here. If you have difficulty with this process, contact the ITSC Help Desk at itsc@msmary.edu.
Log in to your MyMount account and access the Student Resource and Orientation Module located under the Student Resources tab. This section will be available to you throughout your time at the Mount and provides helpful information.
After reviewing your degree plan and checking out the class schedule, you can register for your classes online through your MyMount account on the Registration tab. Course schedules are posted on MyMount Courses We Offer, simply choose the semester from the lefthand column. Please follow the easy step-by-step instructions on how to register on the MyMount training page. If you need any assistance with this, please reach out to your program director.
The Mount’s learning management system used for your classwork is called Canvas. Canvas is the tool that instructors use to facilitate communication. You can find your course syllabus, Zoom link, important announcements, required textbooks, assignments, discussion boards, your grades as you progress through the course and more. Make sure you review each of your courses in Canvas a week or two before they begin, and check Canvas regularly while you are enrolled in the course.
Go to the Mount’s bookstore and use the “textbooks” tab to find the textbooks needed for your courses.
You will need your Mount ID card to access the Frederick campus building, as it is a secure facility. You can also use your Mount ID card to access sporting events, access the library and check out books and buy meals on the main campus. Click here to request your Mount card and upload your photo.
